Unintentional Honesty: Los Angeles Times Listing For Obama Campaign Website: www.latimes.com
Via William Jacobson, at his influential LegalInsurrection blog.
Let's call it a case of unintentional honesty, or as Bill Jacobson described it, a classic "Freudian slip."
In its article reporting President Obama's announcement of his 2012 re-election campaign, the Los Angeles Times gave the URL address for the official Obama campaign website as: http://latimes.com. Too true!
View Bill's screen capture, grabbed before the LA Times could change it, after the jump.
The LA Times may have sparked a war with its competitors: surely the New York Times, The Washington Post, et. al will by vying for the honorific: "Official Website Of The Obama '12 Campaign"!

The Obama Reelection web site unintentionally listed the LA Times as a contributor and supporter of the Obama campaign.
Well, you know what they say...

In politics, a gaffe is when someone unintentionally speaks the truth.

I'm quite sure the website URL was supposed to read:
www.latrines.com
Easy mistake to make, after all. The two URLs are soooo similar in, shall we say, content.
Heck, even I'd be willing to make a *ahem!* "contribution to that site!
